Radicle Projects PLC
("Radicle" or the "Company")
Completion of Restructuring
Radicle (EPIC: RDP.L), the AIM quoted UK company which owns and operates Australian agribusiness projects, is pleased to announce that following approval by more than 75 per cent. of the holders of the Series A Convertible Note ("Note") the restructuring of the Note has now been completed. The Company also confirms that the Placing of 27.4 million new ordinary shares which raised £822,000 before expenses, as announced on 15 December 2009, has been completed and the Placing Shares have been admitted to trading on AIM.
Under the terms of the restructuring the face value of the Notes has been reduced to £9.06 million, being 60 per cent. of the original £15.10 million face value. The face value will escalate back to 100 per cent. over the remaining term of the Notes on a monthly basis, to maturity in June 2012. The coupon interest payment due on 31 December 2009 has been deferred until 30 June 2010.
Interest will be paid at 8 per cent. per annum on the face value of the debt, which provides Radicle with a substantial cash saving going forward.
Radicle proposes to apply cash raised from planned asset sales to reduce debt by buying the Notes back at the reduced face value prevailing at the time, after coupon obligations have been met.
Following the admission of the Placing Shares, the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital will be 51,673,971 ordinary shares.
